-WIN DING-MACHIN E.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application filed. J'une 6, 1907. Serial N 0. 377,581.

Patented Sept. 22, 1908.

T 0 all whom itmag concern:

Be it known that we, Louis M. MoRRoW a'nd'JAMEs M. FOSTER, citizens of the United States, residing at Wasco, in. the county of State of Oregon, have invented a new and useful Winding-Machine, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to means for winding cloth, lace, ribbon and other -material, and the principal object is to provide a novel, very simple, efiective and compact machine, which 1s complete in itself, and is capable of being readily adjusted 'to holders of different sizes and types.

In the accompanying drawings Figure ,1 is a pers' ective view of one embodiment of the macliine; view therethrough. Fig. 3 is a. cross sectional view through one of the carrier disks. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of a modified form of construction. -Fig. ,5, is adetailside elevation of a portion of the same, showing a different form of; holder therein. Fig. 6is a plan view. of a portion of the-structure.

Similar refereneeinumerals designate corresponding: parts in all the figures of the drawings.

In the embodiment disclosed in Figs. 1., 2 and 3, a base 7 is employed that isin the form of a boxing, andrnounted thereon is a suitable electric motor 8. Within the boxing is located a'battery 9 having suitable connections with the motor, controlled by the usualrheostat 10, so that the speed ofthe motor may be variedas desired. The shaft 11 of the motor has its inner end squared as shown at 12, and mounted thereon is the hub 13 of a carrier disk 14. This disk is provided with a dovetailed channel 15 in its outer face, said channel intersecting the axis of rotation of the shaft and carrier. A channeled workengaging device 16 is fitted in the channel 15, and is detachable therefrom upon itslon' itudiual movement.- 8 One end of the wor engaging device is preferably provided with a spring clip 17.

' Fixed to the under side of the base 7 and supporting the same,- are spaced guideways 18, -m which are slidably mounted spaced rods 19 connected at their-outer ends by a cross bar 20. These uideways' constitute spaced supporting feet or the base. I A standard 21 1s Xed to the centralportion of this cross bar,

and has a journal boX 22 on its upperjend.

1 In this journal box is rotatably mounted a' gudgeon .23 held in. place by a screw-24 Fig. 2 is a detail sectional which will not fit into t employed that is sup the usual carrier disk embodiment, a friction which can be made to bear withmore or less force against the carrier disk 39. The man- 'ner of using the device is precisely the same it is provided on its inner face with a transverse channel 26, in which is detachably mounted a channeled work-holder 27 rovided with a clip 28. The disks 14 an 25 are furthermore provided on their opposing faces with spurs 28.

In using the device, the card upon which the cloth, lace or other material is to be wrapped, has its ends engaged in the channeled work holders 16 and 27, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 1, thecard being held by the-clips 17 and 28. It will' be evident that the work holder can'be properly adjusted to the card by sliding the rods 19in theguideways 18. If now the motor is thrown into operation, it will be evident that the card will be rotated, and thus material can be wrapped upon it. If s ools or other objects, he work holders are to be used for supports, the holders 16 and 27 are removed and the spurs 28 are engaged in the ends of said spools or similar devices. In Figs. 4, 5 and 6, a slightly different form of construction is illustrated. A base 29 is orted on guideways 30, in which are slida ly mounted rods 31. These rods are connected by a cross bar 32, which supports the standard 33, and in the upper portion of this standard is journaled 34 having spurs 35 and a detachable work holder 36.

as that already described, and in this connec# tion, it will be noted that in Fig. 4 a card is illustrated in the machine, while in Fig. 5 an ordinary spool is shown, the work holders being' rernoved.

roin the foregoing, construction, operation and many advantages of the herein described invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art, with- .out further description, and it will be understood that various changes in the size, shape,
